Instructions
Even though I thought that it was just troublesome to confront the people surrounding Yuri.
But, the fight against Divan is another thing.
... If I do not want to lose, I need to fight him.
"I will write a letter to Moneda for the first time"
"What do you intend lady?"
"All currencies that circulate in the Duke of Armenia are to be collected, and every transaction will be dealt with banknotes in the territory"
"Banknotes, is it?"
"Well, maybe I should say it is a golden conversion ticket? A paper that guarantees the exchange for an amount of gold coins. Fortunately, in fact this plan was thought to be implemented beforehand. So it's easy to carry out now, it is convenient... I wish I could have brought previously this sample for testing, but if I used this move in my territory before, it would have been seen as a move to stimulate mischief by the royal palace..."
There is a consciousness that made think to have prepared in advance my own measures in case the kingdom problems intensify.
Because I was submitting reports to the royal palace while making a claim that the system of this territory has considerable discretion and that it is within the scope of authority the kingdom gives each territory to rule over itself so far.
Always when I submit a report, I consult previously with Dean.
Of course, my father is also great for that, because I ask him for advice.
The power struggle in the royal palace is intense.
There is a result of prioritizing who will get the throne rather than the state of the kingdom, and that is... that they can not keep one's affairs in mind.
What they notice that I'm changing the policies it will be already implemented and stable.
Introducing banknotes is a departure from the unified currency of this country.
Though I thought that I could not make any excuse for it... In the current situation, the profit is bigger than the loss by implementing it.
I have to get up early to prepare everything tomorrow before the market disruption happens.
I appreciate Moneda's actions.
They said that we can operate at any time, so I just need to move the officers.
"I will keep all the gold coins, silver coins, and coins at the bank. Of course I'll have confirmed whether they are genuine beforehand. If it has impurities, only the corresponding value will be accepted. Fortunately, the coins with impurities do not seem to be circulating yet."
"How about gold coins from other territories?"
"In the Duke of Almeria's territoty, from now on, only bank notes can be used for exchange. If they bring in gold coins from other territory, they can not use it unless they have them replaced by banks. I will promulgate it tomorrow morning."
"How will the banks check the coins...?"
"Although it's only a report from Moneda, the false currency he said is somewhat lighter, so we will soon find out if we measure it by weight"
"But, lady, if you introduced the bills and banknotes, as the lady had been told earlier, will you not unnecessarily stimulate the country?"
"I will tell all this to the Earl of Sagitaria. While he is still in the position of the finance minister, I will make an established fact, promulgate it, and I will distribute the banknotes that can be exchanged for gold coins... In other words, Well... I will not say that I am going to abolish the kingdom's law... Well... I will not be able to say such a thing anyway... but... It is my highest priority to protect my territory. Between that and my territory.. that's it, until trouble comes our way, we will do it like this!"
Tanya takes action immediately.
She comes with me to visit the competing stores in the capital and to see the situation of the Azuta Corporation at the capital. "What's the matter, lady!"
Sei came into the room with little breath.
Tanya, who also came together, has a cool face......
I told everything I had talked with Tanya so far without covering it, to Sei.
The face of Sei turned pale when I finished telling him everything.
...... It seems that you are aware of the magnitude of things instantaneously.
"Azuta Corporation is doing a lot of activities in other territories, how will we do this?"
"There is no such thing as using only honest gold coins in the cafe department?"
"Well, well...... Because we are setting the price to allow common people to come buy our products, it'll be difficult that we don't receive these fake coins."
"Please analyze and report any customer that their gold coins are under weight and always measure the weight with the balance, if it's light, made them change it to another gold coin. If there is no other gold coin, accept it while setting it with the value it really has. If you accept it, please manage it separately. Please count the number of times you received light weight coins, including the case of the ones being replaced. When the acceptance of light gold coins exceeds ten, the amount of impurities needs to be considered, so raise the price for all the goods."
"I am afraid about the quantity of low weight coins we have accepted up to now, I will measure the weight of gold coins in all shops as soon as possible, then I will arrange the weights balance for all the stores."
"Please, please...... Oh, our shops destined to aristocrats will raise prices from the beginning, we will sell every luxury goods outside of those shops, also make a candidate list of items whose prices are to raise as soon as possible and bring it to me. Please make sure that there are no light gold coins at the moment. Like always, be specially careful when you explain to customers."
"As you say"
Accepting all my words quickly, Sei bowed and left the room.
I have not felt the same kind of insecure teenager as before from him.
He now reminds me of Sebastian appearance in the territory.
"Well, although I had to issue various instructions such as directions to the officials and directions to Moneda...... Tanya. If there is any other report, please can you read it now?"
"Perhaps the Prince seems to be also investigating about this subject"
"Well... why do you think so?"
"Actually, I was in contact with other intelligence agents during the investigation..."
To Tanya's report, I rounded my eyes.
It is surprising that she can negotiate with an opponent.. it makes me feel that it was really dangerous, and there is still more.
"It certainly has a high possibility of being the First Prince's intelligence agent..."
First Prince... Alfred seems to have an excellent subordinate.
His evaluation got a little higher with this.
"Well, if others have such excellent subordinate so far, we should take countermeasures as well. I will report this to father... about the matter of the fake gold coins, but let's leave it for later."
Tanya has a somewhat surprised expression.
It is such a surprising expression that I laughed.
"Did you think that I would have moved towards a solution instantly?"
To that question, she nods.
"I will not do it, I will refrain from moving myself, I am the highest authority in the territory. The people of the Duke of Almería are the most important to me. Take this important thing as a bargain chip and expose them to others bad intentions I can not afford....... And now in the kingdom, no matter how hard I try and move, it will not work while there is Princess Elle and Maelia Marquis..."
It can not be helped. I will be accused of being an accomplice and being crushed. "Even so, do not investigate Ms Yuri anymore... The baron was not in the royal city almost during all the season, so their family has no room for liberty. If the First Prince also has his eyes on this, there is nothing for us to do anymore."
At my words, Tanya nods silently.
"Well, then, from now on, I have to write a letter to give instructions to the diplomats...... Tanya, please tell priest Rafshimons."
"Ok"
"Mimosa's Marriage and the Marquis house, let him know so"
"ah I see......"
To get married in this country, there is Darryl's approval.
It is important to report that you are married to the church and pledge to share your future with each other.
Darryl's approval means that they got acknowledgment.
That means that you can not get married until you get approval from Darryl's church.
"Although some pressure may come from Princess Elle...... I will handle it somehow... I will tell him to lend a hand on this and borrow his help."
It was only a while ago that the problem of van and the pope happened.
It was written in that letter that he offered me his help in case I need it, and I will use it this time.
Although the problem of Van caused trouble for the territory, as things have progressed as originally intended, I think now from the bottom of my heart that this problem was good to have happened.
"Ok, I'll let him know."
"Please, please keep watch for Mimosa's matter"
"Ok"
After Tanya leaves, I start writing letters to the heads of each department of the corporation and the divisions of the civil service.
I continued to write all letters together without rest, and when I noticed the sun was setting.
